We saw the exhibit that had of many of his pieces and they are spectacular. When France conquered Italy in 1797, Napoleon took back to France many of the art pieces from Italy. Canova in 1802 was appointed Inspector General of the Fine Arts by the Italian government with the sole mission of getting them back from France. He got many back and he was the only one ever to serve in that post as it was ended afterwards. This is his version of David.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2db158c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> One of his most famous pieces was this one of a grieving widow.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2db358c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Palazzo Farnesina</B></div> <bR> <div> This was another revisit for us. We had been there a number of times with guests but there was a new Leonardo da Vinci exhibit we wanted to see. One of the highlights of the building is the perspective room by Peruzzi. For the first time we noticed that there was writing on one of the walls. This was done by some German soldier during the WWII occupation of Rome. This photo is a close up of the wall…. This is 3D… not actual columns.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2db558c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> The Leonardo da Vinci exhibit included some digital representation of all his major works in the <B>actual size</B>. The Queen is standing in front of the Last Supper so you can get some perspective of how big it actually is. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="2db758c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Sometimes artists painted the same picture twice and sometimes it was copied by another artist. This was an example of that. The one on the left was done by someone in the school of Leonardo and the one on the right was by some other artist.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2db958c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> <B>Baths of Caracalla</B></div> <bR> <div> We had been to the baths of Caracalla completed in the year 215 many times but we noticed that they opened an entire underground section. The baths could accommodate up to 6000 people and took 9000 people five years to complete. To service the baths there was a series of tunnels to bring in and store wood for the fires to heat the water. These tunnels were large enough so that large carriages could navigate the underground. The digital screen in the back was part of a not very good art exhibit in the tunnels.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dbc58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> During the excavation of Pope Farnese II in the mid 16<FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >th</FONT> century many columns and caps were found. The columns were made of marble from Egypt and are now found in Santa Maria in Trestevere. These capstones are located in the underground museum.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dbe58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Large portions of the carved marble walls are exhibited.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dc058c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> This is a diagram of the entire Caracalla site as it was.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dc258c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> This is how it looks today.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dc458c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Ceasar's Forum</B></div> <bR> <div> They have been working on Caesar's Forum for a few years and it is now open.

The volcanic eruption in Santorini happened 1700 years before the one in Pompeii. Excavations on Santorini uncovered a city buried by ash. This exhibit had items from that excavation. This is a fountain from Santorini.</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dca58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Some nipple pottery???</div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dcc58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <div> Various silver items found. </div> <div> <IMG SRC="2dce58c20.jpg" border=0 width="600" height="450" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
